Construction of the first-ever cable car project from Nanu Oya to Nuwara Eliya, aimed at attracting more tourists to the area has officially commenced.
The Ministry of Urban Development said the project is planned to be completed under two stages and the four-kilometre cable car service will run between Nanu Oya to Nuwara Eliya.
The project will see the construction of 21 towers connecting the cable cars between the Nanu Oya train station, Nuwara Eliya Race Course, and the Single Tree Mountain.
Furthermore, the UDA has been vested with providing close to four hectares of necessary lands required for the project. The project is expected to be completed in 18 months.
